Kick off 19:45
Stamford Bridge​

Evening blues, I'm going to keep this match thread short and sweet as the games are coming thick and fast and I haven't had much time to think because of work today so just the line ups and somewhere to talk about the game during it

We come out of the weekend straight away with a win away at Wigan, whereas Reading come out with a decent point at Stoke in their first game of their Premier League Campaign. In terms of injuries, Ramires is apparently back and ready to play after recovering from an illness which kept him out of Sunday's trip to Wigan leaving our only injured players Marko Marin which Di Matteo has confirmed will be out for around a month and David Luiz who he himself confirmed as out for tonight's game. For Reading, Karacan and Kebe are out with leg injuries and striker Jason Roberts is suspended.

This is how I predict we'll start but personally I'd rest Mata, put Hazard in the middle behind Torres and give Bertrand another go on the left. Move Ramires to CM instead of Mikel/Lamps and stick Sturridge on the right. Or even keep Lamps/Mikel/Ramires as they are and play Sturridge to keep Torres on his toes.

Total stab, got it off some preview website so if any Reading fans see the match thread let me know and I'll correct it. Wasn't sure on the positions of some of the players. Decent line up nonetheless!

Let's make a large gap between ourselves and rivals come Saturday night, 9 points in a week ain't bad

Oscar expects to be a starting XI in one month, he also revealed RDM wants to use him in Lampard's position, but he say he can also play in Mata's position.

Didn't want to make a new thread, so might aswell put it here.

 

Team:
Cech
Ivanovic, Terry, Cahill, Cole
Mikel, Lampard
Ramires, Hazard, Mata
Torres.

Subs: Turnbull, Bertrand, Essien, Romeu, Meireles, Oscar, Sturridge

 

Oh yes, correct line up

I'm going to say 3-1 to us

 

1-0 I reckon.

I'll talk more after the game

 

Anyone have a stream?

Dislike the fact Mata is playing, these ****s will kick lumps out of Eden and him.

 

It's Cech who should be worried...

I'll be watching it on here

 

Cheers mate

 

"We know what we are, we know what we aaaarre - Champions of Europe! We know what we are!"

Love it!

 

Hazard! Brilliant! 1-0 Lampard pen

 

What a noggin shot, 1-1 Pog. Unstoppable tbf.

 

What the hell is going on with your defence?

 

PL is ****ed up this season

Reading are famous for having mad scorelines...7-4 and 6-4 were 2 of them the last time they were in the PL.#

Im going for 7-6 or something mad

 

Only for the first, 2nd was all Cech.

 

You're still going to win, i'm guessing 4-2.

 

Reading on top. Chelsea cant get out of their half

 

That 2nd has took the wind out of us.

 

Really should of been 3-1 to Reading

 

I wouldn't get worried. Hazard will get 2 more pens and Chelsea will end up winning 3-2
